The ICDR Y&I Board is the main body in charge of preparing and holding events and conferences in close cooperation with the ICDR. It has discretion to propose the topic, format, and venue of the events, and reports to the ICDR on the progress of the events’ preparation and their outcomes, as well any other ICDR Y&I initiatives. It also has an advisory function in the ICDR Y&I decision-making process with a focus on regional network-building through (1) encouraging membership in ICDR Y&I, (2) raising awareness of ICDR Y&I in the broader arbitration and ADR community and (3) organizing ICDR Y&I initiatives.
